A trip through my world. Who I am, why I do genealogy, the places it takes me and the people I encounter along the way. Join me on my journey.

Follow Up Friday - A Day Late and A Dollar Short

My mother always told me I ran, "A day late and a dollar short." I guess that's true. I'll probably be late to my own funeral. So the fact that I am a day late with this blog is not surprising. At least not to those who know me well.

So in a nutshell, here is how I did this week with my goals:
The update is:
Biz Cards and Website/Blog changes. Didn't happen. I am so disappointed. My printer did not deliver my cards to me before I left and did not return my calls. (When he is your brother-in-law what do you do?)
So I won't have my cards (or the art work for the site) till I get back in Feb. So the completion of this goal is put on hold.

I viewed/read and re-read the notes/homework for the class at SLIG (Advanced Methodology with Dr. Thomas Jones) My head is swimming.

I viewed/attended Marian Pierre-Louis webinar (presented by Legacy) on Massachusetts Ancestors. It was so good that I ordered the CD/DVD so I could hear it a second time.

I sent for two succession records for my Landry/Theaux line.

I ordered my films to be viewed when I get back.

Tomorrow I have a quiet day with nothing on the schedule except the welcome meeting for SLIG. So tomorrow I will work all day on my NGS Home Study class and my National Institute for Genealogical Studies classes.

Time to "fess up"
I didn't get the Organization of my genealogy files done. (or clean the house...you should see it...total disaster.)
I didn't get the Rhodes line "revisited" this will just have to go on the list for Feb.

All in all not bad for a "short" month. I only had 20 days in January. The rest of the month I am at conferences in Salt Lake City. While I am here I hope to get some of my classes done so the fat lady hasn't sung yet.

Kim, for all you have on your plate you ROCK. You have done an amazing job in January, and the fact that you prepared for SLIG and still are working on courses amazes me. Have a great time, and I can't wait to hear how it went in Salt Lake!

Doing great, Kim, after all genealogy is only one part of your full life! And as for your mother's saying, (like mine) - she was likely wrong about a lot of things, and besides, now you're a grown-up and can do as you like! Enjoy the process.

About Me

I have been passionate about genealogy since I began researching my adopted family in 1990. Since then I have obsessively pursued genealogical education. In addition to my own search I have been helping people find their "roots" since 2000.
